THE STORY OF
SLIPPING AND CHECKING
EVER PLAY GOLF? Or, rather, play at it, for few, if any, ever
play it. It’s a game that baffles you every hour, every day,
every time you go out to play.
Before
you leave home you have your mind all made up to play a good
game. You have fully set yourself, your mind is trimmed, your
joints properly oiled and cleaned so they work easy — all is
just hunky-dory and you play rotten.
On
another occasion, you go to tee 1, your mind is clear, you
have no particular worries, you are relaxed, your stance
perfect, your swing just right, yet for some reason — darned
if you know — the club toed your ball and you sliced away
off and disgraced yourself in the eyes of all.
You go
on to another tee. You think you have found out why — only
to correct those defects to find that now your ball hooks and
makes no distance.
It is a
tantalizing game. If everything is just right,
your ball takes a long jump down the fairway and then rolls
about fifty yards and lands you so you can get on the green
with an approach. But — and here’s the game —
betwixt and between your mind and the score is
the difference between doing those thousands of little things just
right and doing hundreds of them just wrong.
And — here’s
the lesson to be learned — betwixt and between your mind
that wants to succeed and the score that fails is
the mind that either cares or doesn’t care, concentrates or
doesn’t, slips and slides and checks and corrects.
For,
between the man who plays golf and the man who plays at it, is
the one man who keeps slipping, but he keeps checking and the
other man who keeps slipping, does not know it and therefore
doesn’t check, therefore goes on playing a rotten game until
the end of time.
We write
this from the book of life, from actual experience. We are
writing now from a room in Grove Park Inn, at Asheville, North
Carolina, between lecture dates. We have been here ten days
trying to play golf; rather, trying to master our mind to make
it do what we know it must do if our hands are to do what our
head tells them to.
Grove
Park Inn is the finest resort hotel in the world. Even as we
write, we can look out the window down upon one of the finest
golf links in the world. Two miles away is the famous Biltmore
Country Club, built by Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt. We have
played at golf over there, too. We have been spending ten
days, morning or afternoon, trying to train our head to master
our hands, for golf is a game of where mind is master. Golf is
a state of mind.
As we
sit here, or try it on the links, we have seen hundreds of
worthwhile men going through this struggle which, after all is
said and done, is a fight of checking on the slips and
slipping on the checks.
Golf is
a game of ups and downs. Today, a good game; tomorrow, a
rotten one. The man who plays a consistent game, day after
day, is the man who has mastered his mind, gotten it under
control and trained to do his bidding.
We have
watched and studied these men, at playing golf or at work at
the game of golf — for golf is a play at which you work, or
work at which you play, which is always but a viewpoint.
We saw
one man the other day dub a shot. He got mad, rared, fumed,
cussed the caddy, the hill, the grounds, and then deliberately
broke a club on the ground. He surely was in a rage.
He was an
old player so far as time goes, but he was a novice in the
game of himself.
We saw
another man dub his shot. Quietly, and without a single word,
and without any visible trace of changed expression, that man
took another ball from his pocket, stood there on the tee,
stroked his chin, looked over into the Blue Ridge Mountains,
took inventory of his slips, checked them, teed his ball, took
his time, took his stroke and drove a long shot straight down
the fairway.
Golf is
a game of minds. The first man lost his. The second man used
his. Some men never play the game because they never think.
Other men are learning to play the game because they study and
never get beyond that stage.
Golf is
an obvious lesson. What we think is expressed the next minute
later in the attitude of the ball. If the ball slices or
hooks, our mind sliced and hooked. If the ball goes straight,
our mind was thinking along straight lines without resistance.
We think
one minute and our action expresses that thought the next
minute. There is no lost time between the time when we thought
and the time that thought demonstrated its character.
How
different is business! We think today and perhaps do not see
the net result until that thought has gone out into the
channels of business and been bounced and bounded about for
weeks or months, and then comes back later to slice or hook;
and we do not associate the sliced or hooked thought of months
before with the sliced or hooked business months later.
And that
leads us to the full object of writing this epistle at this
time to you folks.
For
years, we have seen our profession slicing and hooking. We
have seen our fellows slipping and sliding. At present,
everybody is well aware that we are not where we were a few
years back. There is a generally well-known depression on.
Everywhere
it is said that “business is slow” and “I have not the
business I had a few years ago.” The whole darned thing
seems on the fault-crack and the earthquake has all but
engulfed us. Why?
For two
years the best minds in our profession have been traveling and
checking, backward and forward. We have held conferences, here
and there. We have verified, corrected, and certified in many
parts of the country where conditions are different — and
the conclusion we herein give is universal.
We have
had men out on the road visiting you failures, you successes.
We have been out ourselves. We have watched, checked your
offices, your business, and we conclude that facts herein
given are true and hit the taproot.
We have
talked with many Chiropractors, at home, from many places.
We
have talked with many Chiropractors, at their home towns, in
different states in which we have been. We have pumped hard
and they didn’t know why. We even did so to many at Lyceum,
last year, and this, and they couldn’t understand our
motives. We did.
The
Chiropractic profession has been slipping.
The
Chiropractic profession has not been checking.
And, as
we made this application to ourselves, we did so knowing full
well that what applies to our mind and muscle is no different
from what has been applying itself to all other businesses and
professions in America, until today the entire United States
is in a mental slip and without its mental check, hence we are
damning the caddy, the ball, and finally blaming external
conditions even to breaking our club by getting mad and
refusing to any longer play according to the rules of the
game.
Business
is just as much a state of mind as is golf. If the golf mind
slips and checks itself the stroke is improved. If the
business mind slips and does not check itself, the financial
returns are bad.
Our
profession is in a slipping slump.
Many
people have offered many reasons for this. One says it is
because we do not conduct a larger national publicity
campaign; another says it is because there are too many
Chiropractors for the patients who know about it; another says
it is because we are wedded to selling a “ticket” rather
than selling a health service; another says it is because
taxes are outrageous and should be reduced; another blames the
Republican party for throwing the country into hell.
All of
these may be true, but why?
We have
seen golf players alibi until they were disgusting as to why
they failed to make a good drive. Few, however, blame
themselves.
We have
been in this game of Chiropractic for 54 years and have never
before witnessed a single slipping, sliding, or slumping in
business. In “hard” times our business has gone upward and
forward. In “good” times we have gone forward by leaps and
bounds. Times, good or bad, have never before affected any of
us — schools or practitioners. Why now the desire to
blame everything else when everything else has been much worse
in former times and we grew in spite of them all?
The
cause of our growth, in those days, was in us in spite
of the obstacles before us. The cause of our present decline
is in us,
in these days, and is because of the obstacles before us.
Even
now, in these “hard” times which some of you say is the
cause of your slump, there are many who are forging right
ahead and have larger businesses than before. And in these
same times, others who have had large businesses are now in
the slump. Why? That is what we set out to find and what we
give you here.
Here is
the problem in a nutshell. Its truth is observable in every
business or profession, ours included.
Before
the wars, our profession and every person in it was up on
tiptoes fighting for existence, fighting a common enemy
against extermination; everybody’s shoulder was to the
wheel.
On came
the war. Prices went sky-high. Chiropractors made fortunes,
where before the war they made dollars. Schools
made fortunes where before they had made nothing. With many,
prosperity acted like booze; they became prosperity drunk.
And
then we began slipping. We have been slipping ever since.
We are now in the valley of the slipping process.
We are
now suffering from the post-war depression which is national,
and all are despondent. In trying to solve it, we are, as
usual, suffering from the illusion of the near. We are blaming
the caddy, the tee, the lay of the ground, the club, the
everything else that is outside of ourselves.
In one
state recently one fellow explained away the depression by
saying that it was because it became known that they did not
get legislation and people then knew they were illegal
practitioners. That same condition existed in other states,
but business grew in that state with those men whose minds
grew.
In
another state the slump was accounted for on the ground that
they had gotten legislation and now everybody had lost
interest in fighting for Chiropractic. That same condition
existed in other states, but some businesses grew in exact
ratio as the minds of a few fellows could see ahead of their
ball and study the play and make it according to the well-laid
rules of the game.
So those
were not reasons that affected all, universally, alike.
When
these facts are sprung — that we have all more or less
slipped — everybody is quick to jump to the defense and
deny it. But facts have a peculiar way of getting under the
hide of every man who is slipping and sooner or later
he admits his weaknesses, one by one, puts himself to the acid
test just as does the sincere and conscientious golf player,
begins a deliberate process of checking himself, analyzes the
slips, figures out the correct play, and finally he has
checked himself so hard that he comes through with a
re-winning business.
The
salient points are:
1st. He thinks
he is up on tiptoes just because he can’t see the
immediate bad effect of his play as can the golf player.
If what
you thought now rebounded back in two minutes on your
business, you would know you slipped.
2nd. He
thinks he is perfect in his detail just because he doesn’t
see the immediate reaction of his bad play in his business
slicing or hooking as can the golf player. If what you now
did, by way of detail, dubbed your pocketbook in two minutes
after what you did, you would know what you otherwise
don’t see for months.
3rd. He
doesn’t realize he wasn’t doing right things because he
can’t immediately see that they are wrong.
4th. He
doesn’t realize he is doing what he is.
5th. He
doesn’t realize he is doing what he was.
6th. He
realizes that the cash register is slipping, but he knows that
he isn’t — and that’s where the slip actually occurs.
Back of
the money he doesn’t get in, is him.
Back of
him is the way he is thinking.
Because
of internal mental slipping, and not knowing it, he blames the
external physical conditions which he does know. Because it is
a fixed fact in playing golf, if you do all things right the
ball will go where you want it to.
The
average Chiropractor today, as all of us know him, as we have
studied him in many states, those with and those without
legislation, began to slip in his thinking during the wars; he’s
been slipping ever since. Nobody has suggested that he ought
to check himself, nobody has checked him, much less himself on
himself; therefore he goes on slipping and doesn’t
know it.
This
article is intended to be a lesson on slipping and checking
for every Chiropractor in our ranks, whether you sell
tickets or health service, for we have been selling tickets
for 54 years and succeeded; whether or not you have a certain
make of sign, for we have been succeeding without those signs
for 54 years.
As you
slip, results slip, business drops.
As you
slip, confidence drops, business slumps.
It all
begins and ends with you, and you is your
mind.
We see
many applications of the slipping process. We have seen them
for months. They permeate every avenue in our profession; but
that with which we are most concerned now is that slipping of
the honest and sincere fellow who commences with the right
education, right ability, right application of his art and
then gradually begins to slip and slide, thinking he is
upholding his exact and definite education, ability, and
application that he thinks he has and thinks he
is using, but isn’t.
By the
above you will note that we do make a distinction between him
who is careless and him who is slipping. The
“careless”
man doesn’t care; “it doesn’t make any difference,”
“I should give a fig;” “when farmers get their pay,
business will return, and not before;” — always hunting
alibis and forgiving his failures because of things over which
he has no control and doesn’t want to change.
The
fellow who is “slipping” is the one who indicates that the
man does care, is interested, is honest, wants to know why,
will listen and will study. When somebody comes along and
tells him to “keep his head down and his eye on the ball,
his left arm stiff and close to his body, and his club head to
follow through,” and he diligently applies himself to
accomplish those things, some day that chap will play golf.
And, if
that man, after being told many times, continues to slip, then
he’s still slipping and does not know it. This article
is intended solely for that fellow, the one who is
slipping and doesn’t know it.
We must
check until it hurts. Check whom? Check what?
Ourselves —
not the caddy, club, or ball.
If this
is done by every man and woman in our ranks, in one year we
will be back on our feet to pre-war prosperity and success
again, stronger for having gone through the ordeal of finding
ourselves.
We have
said a good deal about slipping, but just what do we mean?
We
can best explain by proving an actual example:
On our
last southern trip, we took sick with cramps. We were actually
suffering. We needed an adjustment — one that would
get results. We went to the convention and picked out one whom
we thought could give an adjustment.
This man
was a PSC graduate — a mentally alert fellow — no fool and
no slouch. We got out of bed, got down in the Palmer Posture,
and then we saw, heard, and felt what he thought he was giving
— an adjustment. We say that we saw, heard, and felt it.
It
isn’t often that a patient can sense an adjustment with
three senses. Our face was toward the dresser mirror.
In this
way we saw it. We felt it because it hurt unmercifully.
We
heard it because of how he did it — and that’s what
we want to describe, because in that was the slipping.
His left
hand was laid down all and entirely flat on our back, entire
palm on back skin. His right hand was upraised and away from
left hand. Fingers of left hand were at right angles to our
spine. Fingers of his right hand were perpendicular to our
spine. Fingers of right hand were raised up in the air and
came down with a slap-like sound on the back of his left hand.
He then moved his left hand down to another spot and repeated
the upraised slap-like sound. He did this in four places,
every one hurting and doing us no good. Not a single vertebra
moved.
We got
up, mad, and said: “What in the hell do you think you are
doing?” He told us in no uncertain manner that he had given
us an adjustment. Said we: “Like hell you did!”
The poor
fellow was taken off his feet, surprised, astonished. He was
indignant.
He then
got mad. Said he: “What are you trying to do, kid me?
I have
just given you a genuine Palmer recoil, such as I was taught
in school. What’s the idea of bawling me out?”
We stated
that we were sincere in our remonstrance and he retaliated by
saying so was he.
Here was
a right up-to-the-minute intelligent man who was right then
thinking that he had given us what we taught him at The PSC.
It wasn’t. It was as near like it as a cat is like a canary.
It suddenly knocked us down with the reality. It focalized
much that up to that time was rambling around hunting for a
conclusion. This man had previously said that his practice was
up for sale, and would we help him sell. His business was for
sale because his business had dropped down to nothing,
gradually slipping for months.
Here was
a man who thot he was thinking The PSC teaching, but in
reality his mind was thinking slipped thoughts and he
did not know it.
This man was honest in thinking he was checked, but he
wasn’t.
And
there is the lesson. Thousands of us have been slipping.
We
take it for granted that we haven’t. We have been taking too
much for granted. We can’t see where the ball is going
except for months after, hence do not know that we have
slipped.
This man
knew that his business had failed, but he was blaming
everything else. The fault lay in his slipping and not knowing
it. Because of just what he had done to us and to others, he
was hurting all. Being hurt and not getting results, they were
quitting him, and because his business had slipped (covering a
period of many months) he had offered it for sale, blaming the
local town conditions.
What was
the moral — with him? We talked over the entire matter.
Being honest, he saw what we proved to him to be true. He
checked himself then and there. He said he could understand
why people would quit. We have since heard from him and he
reports that his practice could not be bought, business
is picking up rapidly, he is rebuilding himself,
reestablishing himself, and thanks us for checking him on
himself — a condition he would not admit, yet when proven
knew it to be true.
The
gathering of many details now crystallized into a stubborn
act. We then went after the idea to make a study of it.
It hit
us hard. We found that condition existing everywhere.
While on
that same trip, we spent one afternoon in a certain state
penitentiary. We were introduced to a cultured, refined, well
educated, genteel and intelligent murderess. We talked with
her and could not understand how this woman had taken a pair
of scissors and jabbed them into the throat of her husband and
killed him. She was anything but that type. Here was
a woman who was not a murderer, yet she had murdered, showing
that she had done the thing she was not by nature and
education capable of doing. Why this inconsistency?
We asked
the woman to tell her story. She said the husband was a
nagger. He nagged and nagged. Her resistance to the invasion
of his nagging was 100 per cent. She ignored him and never
let it enter into her or become a part of what she thought.
One day she grabbed those scissors and killed him. She then
realized, as never before, that for months his nagging had penetrated
her system; had been stealthily reducing her resistance; but
she did not realize it until the act of murder had been
committed.
Gradually
her
resistance had weakened; gradually the penetration had
increased; gradually the one was worn down and the other built
up, both of which were occurring and she did not know it.
Could
she have but recognized what was occurring, she could have
checked on herself and the murder would never have been
committed, and she would not have been where she was.
She was
slipping and didn’t know it. She couldn’t check because
she didn’t know she was slipping.
One
fellow recently told me that he was so busy that he “didn’t
have time for all his patients to undress, so when he was busy
he adjusted some of them through the clothing.”
That man
is slipping. He doesn’t think so because he doesn’t
think.
Yet
others are busy, and they take time to have every
person undress, that they might do what they do right.
They
are checking.
Another
said: “We think we will throw out our rest rooms; rent is so
high.” That man is slipping. He didn’t think so
because he hadn’t thought it to a conclusion. Rents were
high on 34th and Broadway in New York, but Dr. Dueringer kept
his rest rooms. He checked his business in results, not in
rents.
“It
makes no difference.” Ever
hear that as an excuse for why certain things were being
neglected, not done, or alibiing why
they were not necessary? “It makes no difference” is the
shoal on which more businesses are wrecked than any other one
condition. The minute any person in business makes that
statement once, and believes it, he is slipping and
needs checking of his mental state.
Go out
on the golf links and pull your club with the left arm. “It
makes no difference,” but your ball goes hook. Look up and
follow your ball. “It makes no difference,” and you find
you dub your ball. Do lots of things you shouldn’t do; “it
makes no difference” until you count the sum total of your
score at the end of the game, to find the man across the hall
from you, who knows that these things that “make no
difference” to you make a difference to him,
has secured your business.
Those
things which “make no difference” to you on the first tee
are the very things which make the difference on the 18th hole
at the end of the game. Slip at the beginning and you may
check all you please at the end, but your score is against you
just the same.
A few
weeks ago, we were talking to a certain Chiropractor who was
talking “blood pressure” in cases. This person took “blood
pressure” thinking “it was nice to know and to tell the
patients.” Blood pressure is not nearly as important for
that Chiropractor to tell the patients as nerve pressure.
It’s the difference between urinalysis and our analysis.
This person is running to seed on “blood pressure,” even
to asking us, in front of a consultation case, whether we
thought the adjustments would reduce his blood pressure.
This
individual is slipping into the language and ideas of
yesterday, of medicine, of the patient’s understanding of
his sickness. This individual does not know she is slipping,
but she is. If she does not check it will be but a question of
time until the only thing the patient will get, different from
the physician, will be the punch; and even that may be
slipping because when the mind slips on one thing it
usually slips on many others.
Why
shouldn’t she talk “blood pressure” — “it makes no
difference”?
Talking
the other day to a PSC graduate — a mixer — we asked him,
“Why do you mix?” His answer: “I can’t get results
without.” He also said: “I got excellent results for a
while after I graduated. After a while I believed I had
been fooling myself in thinking I was; so, to get results, I
took to mixing.” Now came the turning point question: “Are
you today using
PSC methods of analysis and adjusting?” His answer came true
to the form of the slipper: “Yes, and they won’t work.”
Knowing
about the unconscious slipping of men’s minds, we asked him
to analyze a case, and give the necessary adjustments and let
us see all that he did. At first he hesitated (showing a
lack of confidence), and then he consented.
What he
did was not what he was taught at The PSC.
Here
again was another sample of proof of our conclusion. Upon
questioning him firmly, he thought, and admitted that he
thought that what he had just done was exactly as it had been
taught him in The PSC five years previous; and while it worked
for us, and worked for him at first, it wouldn’t work for
him any more.
The
unconscious slipping had been going on and he was honest in
admitting that he didn’t know it.
We went
all over his work, checked him point by point, pointed out
where he was wrong, demonstrated his way and then demonstrated
The PSC way, and not until he saw the contrast would he
admit that he had slipped.
That boy
promised to cut mixing at once, get back to exclusive Chiropractic,
by checking himself all along the line. We have
since heard from him and he is rebuilding back his mind, his
delivery has stepped up, his results are what they ought to
be, his business is coming back, he is getting the old-time
PSC Chiropractic spiz, he has cut all mixing and he’s as
happy as a lark.
It has
paid him to check.
R. H.
St. Onge of Seattle graduated from The PSC. He was our close,
personal, and intimate friend for years. He came back one
summer to visit us. He stayed at our home. He came at a time
when we were thinking about slipping and checking. Rufus had
not been back to The PSC since he graduated ten years before.
Had he slipped? We were anxious to know. We asked him for an
adjustment. He put us through a case of sprouts, perfect from
A to Z. His adjustment was improved. He gave a better adjustment
now than ten years before, notwithstanding he was ten years
older and by the usual rules of the game he should be slower.
Slipped? That boy’s mind didn’t know what it was to slip.
We talked
with him about this slipping and checking after the test was
over. He told us that he put himself through the acid test every
day. For ten years he had checked himself every
day. He did
not mix, never had to because he got all results
anybody could want with adjustments.
R. H.
St. Onge was one of the men who put the kibosh on this alibi
financial depression stuff; he tended his knitting, prevented
himself from slipping by checking; therefore he had more
business than ever before.
We
checked those Chiropractors whose businesses are normal or
above normal, and each of them is a checker. The fellows who
are next door, whose businesses have slumped, who are
complaining about this and that, are the slippers.
W H O is
the largest, best, best programmed, best modulated radiophone
station in America. It is universally conceded. Other
stations have not such a reputation. Why?
To be
able to intelligently answer that question, we have made it a
business to visit other stations, large or small, look them
over, check ourselves and the way we do things
as against them and the way they do things. The entire answer
is that all other stations are slipping on many details
that “make no difference” and WHO is checking on every
detail, knowing that it does make a difference to the
listener-in.
Just
recently we took occasion to copper-ribbon-ground all metals
of any kind or quality on all our roofs. It’s a small thing
that others say “makes no difference” but by actual tests
we found that those metals were absorbing some of our
modulated energy which was being sent into the air to go to
you. Instead of going to you, we were absorbing it at
the seat of distribution.
This is
a detail that costs, which other stations do not even think of
— WHO does.
A few
weeks ago, we went into the WOC studio while a certain
songbird was warbling. We noticed she was standing by
the piano,
reading her words off the music which the pianist was reading
from, and she was singing toward the piano. The
microphone was to her right. She was singing away from the
microphone when she should have been singing into it.
We
checked her, as well as the program manager, in no uncertain
terms, stating that such will not be permitted in Station WOC.
It embarrassed the singer, and it hurt the program manager,
but we would rather offend two than injure the quality of
modulation and quantity of sound that went out to millions on
the air.
Careless
isn’t the word; it’s slipping that better explains it.
The PSC
is the largest and best Chiropractic school in the world.
Other schools try to duplicate and imitate us in “Palmer
methods” and quality, as well as quantity. But no other
school equals ours in any one feature, let alone all of them.
Why? Because this school does not slip; it checks all along
the line, and checks hard, and without mercy.
Other
schools are constantly slipping on all things. This school
will not knowingly slip on a single thing. That is why we have
been begging for you field people to constantly check on
us. When something goes wrong here, tell us.
If you
get a letter from some student at The PSC and in that letter
he states something that isn’t right, report it to us and
his name, and we’ll go clear to the bottom and make it
right. We insist on checking.
If you
order goods and don’t get them, or they come wrong, or the
count isn’t right, or they are damaged, or a mistake has
happened, or the bookkeeping account is in error, don’t save
us one minute. Tell us all about it; give us the
particulars, and it’ll be made right if it takes a leg and
an hour’s time.
The PSC
will live if it checks everything and everybody all the
time. And it will slump if it slips and slides.
We want
every Chiropractor in the field and every student in the
school to feel perfectly free to register anything that is
slipping. We’ll
do the checking here. And that man or woman who reports our
slips to us, and gives us an opportunity to check our
business, is our best friend.
We are a
master of detail. We check the faculty, business management,
cafeteria, burning of coal, burning of lights, cleaning of
halls, advertising matter, WOC, printing plant, etc. The
department heads call us “eagle eye.” That matters not, so
long as things are done right. It may hurt them, but it
pays the business. It hurt you, but it will pay your bank
account.
Your
friends tell you your faults. They pick out your weak points
and show you where you are falling down. Your friends also
point out a correction, show how to strengthen it, how to save
yourself, and how to keep you on your Chiropractic feet.
If this
article is taken seriously, weighed carefully, and every man
and woman immediately admits that he has been slipping and
begins a merciless grind on his habits, he will benefit and so
will the Chiropractic profession.
We have
all been slipping and don’t know it. Now that it is called
to our attention, we can all check, and do it intentionally.
It would
be presumptuous on our part if we were to infer that we had
not slipped and slid at The Dear Old PSC. But, as soon as this
slipping idea took definite hold of our consciousness, we
began to check ourselves first. We soon found hundreds of
leaks in our mentality. One by one, we pruned ourselves.
Then
we called in the department heads and we pruned them all along
the line. They took it in the same good, constructive sense we
intended it. The faculty came next in line. We pruned our
ideas, ideals, methods and results. It was surprising to see
how much we were suffering from war-prosperity.
We began
checking about January 1, 1923. We have been at it from that
day till this. Everybody has been glad to check. We are now
pulling up and out. We have slipped and didn’t know it, but
we have checked, and everybody knew it because we checked so
hard that it hit and hurt everybody somewhere.
Having
actually gone through the process, we can well understand the
human nature of humanity other than ourselves, but we can also
now speak from experience. We are still checking, and we
expect we will continue from now on, indefinitely.
The PSC
is now beginning to see its way clear, although it has taken
months of checking to catch up all the slips. It may take you
months to observe the same thing, but if in the end your
business materializes into bigger things than before, the
price you pay is worth the investment.
Slipping
and sliding, mentally, is slumping professionally and
commercially. To check mentally is to cash financially.
Check until
the dog-goned thing hurts you all ways, always.
As
careful as we have been, we didn’t think we could slip.
But
we have been; but never again. We are now back on terra firma
and we propose to stay there and help every other fellow come
through in the same big way that we fought through. We say “fought”
because when any man takes hold of himself and struggles
through weak spots within himself, builds them up until they
are strong, that is some fight he has to go through.
Check until
it hurts and your business will prosper!
